Teaching
| Teaching Pattern | The unit uses a blended learning model with a combination of face‐to‐face Intensives and content delivered online via MyLO (My Learning Online) providing students with opportunities for synchronous and asynchronous interactions – peer to peer, student to teacher and teacher to student. You are expected to devote around 10 hours per week to the study materials, assessment tasks and self‐directed learning. You can interact with the online content at any time, which will be in a modularised format. Online tutorials/webinars will provide further opportunity to engage with instructors and peers and consolidate your knowledge of the online presentations and readings. The format and content of these sessions will be advertised through MyLO announcements. All Intensives in the Bachelor of Nursing are condensed face to face campus experiences. Intensives are usually scheduled between Monday and Friday (see individual unit calendars). Intensives provide an opportunity for student engagement, networking with staff and peers, intraprofessional and interprofessional learning opportunities and engaging with guest speakers. Intensives are designed to provide you with an opportunity to apply theory to practice situations and develop your skills in the practice of nursing. The Intensives provide a key role in facilitating the development of your skills, knowledge and understanding. This is in preparation for both your upcoming Professional Experience Placements and your ongoing engagement in the Bachelor of Nursing. In the interests of both personal and public safety, as a registered student nurse with AHPRA you have a professional Whilst the unit calendar provides a weekly guide, it is expected that you set your own goals to meet the unit learning outcomes. You are however, expected to have engaged with the relevant online learning activities before you attend the Intensives. In addition to MyLO, you will be required to use an electronic platform to support your learning journey, through developing your professional portfolio to display your work. On graduation, you will continue to have access to your professional portfolio. |
